Overview

Custodial violence in India refers to the abuse, torture, or death of individuals in the custody of law enforcement agencies, including police, jails, or other detention centers. It often occurs due to various factors such as impunity, lack of accountability, and inadequate oversight mechanisms within the criminal justice system. Victims of custodial violence are often marginalized individuals, including minorities, the poor, and those without political influence. Despite legal safeguards and directives from the judiciary to prevent such incidents, custodial violence remains a persistent problem in India, highlighting systemic challenges in law enforcement and human rights protection. Efforts to address this issue include reforms in police training, strengthening oversight mechanisms, and promoting accountability for perpetrators of custodial violence.
